You normally go to the OMB if you own land, propose something, and the Region or other level won't let you do that, and you go to the OMB (or LPAT or the newfangled thing whatever it's called) to convince them that the government isn't letting you use your land appropriately. The Region won't let you use the region's land until you give them a proposal they like, so there's no appeal to be made in this case. This is why I believe that the region is being overly demanding in this case, not appreciating, as was said, how busy the big developers already are, how complex this site is, how much money it needs to make because of the region's transit demands alone, and how restrictive the size will be so that people who live right by what should be the densest node in the region don't actually have to deal with that.
But with the One Hundred Condos there was a property owner from Arthur Pl who took them to the OMB
